Stitch-by-stitch....

Literally, it seems that this piece is just getting done "stitch-by-stitch". I keep pulling this out once/week, so I'm not seeing huge chunks of progress, but when I compare where this piece was last summer to where it is now, it IS growing, VERY slowly. I truly still love this piece...I do, I do!!! Sometimes, I just wish there was a magic "fast forward" stitching button for some pieces! Of course, then we would be denied the joy of creating, wouldn't we? Ah well...ya'all are making some awesome progress!!! Keep it going!! :)

Jumping In....

My name is Sharon and I own a UFO. (Bows head in shame).... My piece is Paula Vaughn's "Delicate Beauties". When I first saw this piece, I just HAD to have it. I put the first stitches into this in 2006. I just love the colors and the quilt, but little by little, it sank further to the bottom of my "pile". I think it became a UFO because of it's size. (That's my story and I'm sticking with it). This isn't the type or size project that you can throw in a "grab and go" bag to be stitched while waiting during sports practices and other activities. This project has lots of confetti stitches and color changes so I really have to pay attention to what I'm doing. Quiet time is at a premium around my home (wouldn't have it any other way!!), but it does make it difficult to find time to work on the "concentrate" project. I REALLY do want to finish this - ya'all just keep after me, okay?? :)
Looking forward to meeting and encouraging everyone,
